And when I try to run setup-ds-admin.pl -u I'm asked about misc. information that I don't have readily available, but most of it is auto-filled in, and I guess it stored in some configuration file fromthe previous time the admin-server was set up?Right. /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/adm.conf mostly. The only information you must provide is the admin password. Everything else should be auto-filled in.Yes, everything is auto-filled in, except that when using just the auto-filled in information I get the error "Invalid credentials". So I suspected that I had somehow gotten the password wrong, and tried resetting it, but this didn't help.Seems like no matter what I enter it returns "Error: No such object" or "Error: Invalid credentials". At least the last one I suppose means it managed to connect to the LDAP server, but got the wrong admin password or something? If it is the wrong password, how can I reset it?Do you use the console? What username and password do you use? I suppose you could also use the directory manager DN and password for your configuration directory server (the server that holds the o=NetscapeRoot information).Using the console isn't possible as the console doesn't start, as stated in my first message in this thread. That is, I can't login with theconsole at least, it fails with "netscape.ldap.LDAPException: error result (32); No such object".I use the same username and password for the console that I've always used, and this is the same as what I enter when runningsetup-ds-admin.pl, which is rejected with "Error: Invalid credentials".
Try this:ldapsearch -x -h configdshostname -D "uid=admin, ou=Administrators, ou=TopologyManagement, o=NetscapeRoot" -w "consoleuserpassword" -s base -b "o=netscaperoot"
The -D binddn should be the same as what's in /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/adm.conf
If this command gives you Invalid credentials, then you have most likely forgotten your console admin password, which is _not_ the same as the directory manager password, which is why following the directions below did not do anything.
If you need to reset your console admin password, do something like this:ldapmodify -x -h configdshostname -D "cn=directory manager" -w dirmgrpassword
dn: uid=admin, ou=Administrators, ou=TopologyManagement, o=NetscapeRoot changetype: modify replace: userPassword userPassword: thenewpassword
I have also tried resetting this password following the howto at http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:ResetDirMgrPassword, but this didn't help either.
